 Although, we are in a downtrend, this position feels comfortable to me. SPY 117.68 looks far enough (although anything can happen). The elevated volatility has inflated PUT options values, so I can sell farther out of the money options. We'll see how it plays out. 46 days now to baby sit this one.
